Pole Vault Round Up

I traveled south to Joshua Texas this weekend to the pole vault round up. I didn't jump to well jumped 16' to win but the runway was horrible and wouldn't allow me to actually run hard and get on big poles. I was stuck under on every take off and struggled all day. But given the conditions didn't jump that bad I guess. Not sure where I am jumping next we'll See.

OBU season Starter

Well today we had a little meet a OBU and it went about a expected I won with a 16' jump, not bad for this early. I love jumping at OBU indoor and Outdoor I always jump good there. Indoor is a little short but I can squeeze my run in . Next week is K state me and Joel are going to drive up together and hopefully have some good results.

Halloween Vault

Well Thursday we had our Halloween vault and a ton of people showed up. I dressed up like Joe Dial and even jumped a little like him. Jack (superman), Joel (J Diesel) And I all jumped good all 3 of us jumped at 17' and had great attempts. Tim videoed some so hopefully I will get some of that up here soon. But it was a great time and good food.

On The Rise

Had a great session tonight. I had one jump Tim thought was awesome it felt good too. I seem to be on the rise right now and really fine tuning things I never thought about in my vault. Things seem to just be flowing together well and i am really exploding off the top. I am really looking forward to jumping in some meets and of course our Halloween vault on Thursday. Maybe I'll get some video up soon. Well too every out there you know. good luck

Fall Training

Well i have had 2 weeks of training and jumping on the smoking fast runway Joel and I built at Tim's. I had 2 good jump sessions this week and had a few good jumps at both sessions. Tim is pretty excited about the way things are coming around. I have really found my speed again and been hitting the box hard. We are planning a Halloween Vault and i hope to jump a decent bar for a fall PR. The group at Tim's is getting big and the emerging elite we have there are going to be good. Joel has something big coming up and Tracy is putting a few good things together. See ya at the next one.........

Well Time To Get it Rollin Again

Well its time for fall training me and Joel Plan on tearing it up. I had a great end to my summer except that my last planned comp. was rained out. I been jumping really well in practice and learned a ton here lately. I know God has alot more in store for me and I am ready to see what it is. I have to say this year has been a real challenge but i feel I have made it so far. Last jump session I broke a 14' 180 from 4 lefts and it banged me up pretty good but i got up and planted again. I think me and Joel have decided this is the year that maybe a god one and we are planning to jump high early and try to make a run at some big meets. Stay tuned.

Pole Vault Academy

Thursday night Tom and I drove over to Shawnee to work at Coach Mark Heard's Pole Vault Academy. Tom spoke to the kids about training and jumped in a exhibition for them. I had some great jumps I jumped over 17' a couple times and over 18' once. OBU has a great facility to jump and Coach Heard wants me to come over to train and jump there whenever I can.
